Well I had reserved just one room and it was confirmed as Doctor and Mrs. James and I don't know, I didn't change it... you know it was sorta funny, a...d then I thought we really didn't need two rooms for just two people, I mean we'd save money this way and..." "And why would they think we were on our honeymoon Stephanie?" "Well that's sorta complicated Daddy," I mumbled. "This is just a problem with our hotel in Paris, right Stephanie?" Daddy asked, a touch of both anger and amusement in. I was still a mile from the houseFrom my hiding place, I watched the cars entering and leaving the circle. It seemed as if the traffic would never abate. After about an hour, the flow eased and I began to crawl out from under the tree, heading toward Sullivan Street and home.Leaving my cover behind I ran down Sullivan, staying close to buildings and ducking into recessed doorways as I went along. Finally something happened to my advantage. I saw Mike’s car coming up the road, I ran out waving. Once the attack was broken up, any injured soldiers were to be cared for by the monks until the soldiers could safely leave; others would be released immediately. The senior monk agreed to this; who wouldn't agree to the conditions required for divine intervention?One monk asked for proof that the team was from the beneficent gods and not the malevolent ones. Jase said that he had no idea how to prove that, but was open to suggestion. The doubting monk replied that he had heard that malevolent. I have known long enough to have made peace with it. As a matter of fact I welcome death. Maybe I'll get some of those pesky fucking questions answered, like, "Why do I never get the hot teller at the bank?", or Why do the birds shit more when I have washed my car?" or "Why are hemorrhoids called hemorrhoids and asteroids called asteroids? Shouldn't that be the other way around?" Most of all I want to know why it is that when I am running late the slowest assholes in town are in front of me on.
